So much is right in front of us all ...

PS: Sorry, I have been terribly busy lately.
PSS: Regarding the "kick," there is a difference between a soccer player kicking a ball as far as he can down the field ... and raising his leg to BLOCK a ball from going any further. I never at any time tried to maliciously "kick" Dwight's dog; the truth is as I stated it: Dwight failed to make a handle, and I damned sure don't have to sit there and "allow" his dog to leap in the air and get a free shot at mine, while I am on my way to the corner. If they said anything at Dwight's memorial, it should have said, "Dwight was watching the match like a spectator watches TV, rather than as a participant who's involved," and made no effort to grab Ollie when I made a fast handle on Truman. No way in hell do I have to allow his dog to take hold of mine, and if he isn't going to make the effort to grab him, then what I did by BLOCKING Ollie's lunge with my leg-check, was perfectly justified. Quite frankly, I would have been perfectly justified in calling for a foul-out on Dwight, but I didn't, because I didn't think he was doing this intentionally, just cluelessly and lacking in reflexes. No person who makes a handle on his dog has to just "stand there" and allow a mishandled (non-handled) other dog take a flying leap into his.
